Thefrigate La Thetii and the corvette P Esperance, the former` commanded by Baron de BOugainville, and the lat ter by-M, Ducamper, Capitaines des Vaisseaux of his Mk jesty's Navy, arrived at Brest on the 23d June, after a voyage of nearly 28 months. The Thetis sailed from Brest on the 2d of March,lB24, and on the 19th of May arrived at the late of Bourbon, 'where the Esperanee was waiting for her. These two vessels, placed together under the chief command of the Baron de Bougainville, the son of the navigator, who 60 years before,attached his name to one of the most brilliant expeditions round the globe, put to sea in compa n y, on the 9th of June, and directed their course to Pondicherry, whence, after passing through the Straits of Malacca, they prbceeded to the Philippines. At Manilla, the most cordial reception was given to the King's flag, and to the officers of his ships, by Ile Governor Don Juan Antonio Martinez, as well as by a number of the principal inha bitants of this Spanish colony. On the 24th of October a violent earthquake occurred at Manilla, which was fol lowed on the 31st of the same month by one of the most furious tempests (typhon) experienced in that country for 30 'years. Many vessels were cast on shore. The Rape mance lost her main and mizen masts, but the Thetis was only slightly damaged. This circumstance induced M. de Bougainville to pro ceed to Macao, without the EsPerance, and to leave M. Ducamper to get in his masts at Manilla. The bay of Tourane, in Cochin-china, was appointed for their rent dezvotts. The Bishop of Macao, Don Francisco, de Luz Chacin, was then Provisional Governor of that city, where were also at this time, the Abbe Barou del, Procureur for the French missions, .and .Father Lainiot. All of them, and likewise Don Gabriel Go yenna, agent for the Spanish factory, exerted themselves to render the place agreeable to the officers of the Thetis. NV bile M. de Bougainville was at Macao, he saw the burn ing of the convent of Santa-Clara, where the nuns were so rigid iii adhering to their vow of seclusion, that one of them was burnt to death. To save the others from a similar fate, the curate of a neighbouring chdrch went to them, and taking up an image of their patroness saint, summoned them in the name of the Virgin herself to follow it. On leaving Macao, on the Bth of January, 1825, the course of the Thetis was so directed as to afford oppor tunity for observingseveral points of the Isle of Hainan. On the 11th the coast of Cochin-china was in sight. On the.l2th the Thetis cast anchor in the Bay of Touramt, where she was joined on the 19th by the Esperance. A solemn reception was given to the French captains in the name of the Emperor of Cochin-china' by Mandarins sent from Hue ' and M. de Bougainville was assured by them that French commerce would always be received with favour in his states. After the fatigue of their voyage, the crews of the two vessels were allowed to rest to the 17th of February, and experienced the kindness of the inhabitants. In this respect Baron de Bougainville parti cularly praises the important services which were rendered to him by M. Dorel, merchant of Bordeaux, whom he had previously conveyed from Sincapore to Manilla, and whose presence at Tourane was the more useful to him at MM. 'Chaigneau and Vanier, two Frenchmen who enjoyed the title of Mandarins at Cochin-china, had sailed kir France. The day. after their departure from Tourane, the Thetig and Esperance fell in .with three junks full of Chinese emigrants, probably bound fur Sincapore. Each junk had at least 600 on board, and their whole appearance was most singular. 'ln traversing the Anambas on the 4th, sth, 6th, and 7th of March, 1825, a magnificent bay wac discovered. A .chart was carefully drawn of this bay, to which M. de Bougainville gave the name of Port Clermont- Tonnerre. , the squadron learned the death of Louis XVlll. , anleai Arrived at Sourabaya on the 20th of the s all the time the ships lay an mourning was worn 'officers and crews of his Majesty's ships w ere ei received at ontil l there.

T he co ve nor-General, M. Vander-Capellen, p resse d M. d e Boi n i -- gainville to come to his residence of Buitenzorg i but this tedious visit could not be accomp l ished , as it was necessary to see the re-victualling of the squadron speedily completed,— co nipleted than.— operation tiie p t r i prove e r d ders so formidable i n Unfortunately, fo a l u fi n r a e t t el e y ;p t e h e i t s o e d; this climate attacked some of the crew of the Thetis, six of whom died In spite of all the care bestowed on th em ; On the 3d of May the two vessels sailed from. Sours bays, They passed through the straits of Madura and of Allan, and entering the Great Ocean directed their course to Cape North-west, on the coast of New Holland, Hence' they proceeded to Van Diemen's Land, after doubling which t h e y s t oo d to the north, and ca st an c hor at the - en trance of Port Jackson, on the 29th June, whence proceed in to Sydney,they anchored before that place the Ist July. . ming the three months which the ships lay here, MM. de Bougainville and Ducarnper, as well as all the o ffi cers, ,Were received and entertained on shore in the most hos piteble manner. A ball was given them some days before their departure. Every one vie d in entertaining them, and s for seeing the in aff A . ()ruing them o pp ortunitie s interior of 1 country sodifferent from every other in its natural product' ions, the sudden and its rivers, and phenomena of its temperature. The two command ersthe made several excursions to considerable distances from y d ,ney. From the summit of the Blue Mountains they with a all o enjoyed the subrlme spectacle of a ca taract,mine tha n 1,500 feet, which had be fore been knoWn to Sir Thomas Brir ly a very few persons, and to w hich of Bougainville. sbaoTo h adthe kindness the politeness to give the name MM. de Bougainville andkiridiiess of the same Governor , Penni*siOlt to erect 4 m D ucamper were indebt ed for onument to the memory of La Perouse on the coast, and on the.sitt where that illustri ous navigator formed an encampment at the last place into which he is known to have put. . Leaving Port Jackson on the 21st of September, the Thetis and Esperanr e s t oo d towar d s the coast, so as to d o f bad New Zealand. After experiencing weather, e p o u n s tr t ar o th yw e in n d o s rt an h vessels for some days, they anc h ore d together on the. 2 3 c 1 of November in the bay of Valparaiso, on the coast of which separated tha two Chili, where they found La Marie Therese frigat ;,nder the flag of Rear-Admiral Rosamel, commanding th V rench naval forces in South Atnerica. The.aratb r and Blonde English frigate* were then at Valparaiso,. and a great number of merchantm en . Th e re was also lying in that port; the Chilian squadron, which soon after took the island of Chiloe, which a party of Spanish Royalists had, up to that date, maintained under the authority of His Catholic Majesty. The Blonde frigate was commanded by Lord Byron, the grandson of the circumnavigator of that name, whom the father of Baron de Bougainville had fallen in with in his voyage round the world. Lord Byron was on his return from the Sandwich Islands, where he had erected,a. cenotaph to the memory ,of Captain Cook. Thus, by a singular chance, t h e d esc endants of two of the first navigators who explored the South Sea met on that ocean, each commanding a frigate, and both having 'consecrated by monuments the memory of two illustrious compatriots whose fates had been equally do plorable. The Thetis and the Eiperance left Valparaiso on the 7th of January, 1826, after being completely revictualled. They arrived on: the 2d of March at Rio de Janeiro, where they again found the Marie 7'herise frigate. After lying four days in the port of the Brazilian capital, they sailed,on the 11th of April for Brest, at which, in conse quence of contrary winds and long calms, they did ti?t arrive until after a passage of 75 days. Baron de Bougainville regretted that he could not, in his voyage from Valparaiso to Brazil, put into the Malouii)e Islands, where he would have found interesting recollec tions on visiting the ruins of the establishment which his father formed there in 1765, and which had begun to pros per, when the S'pahiards claimed the property of thoie islands, which they not only after abandoned. The Ma louines are now visited only by whalers. The voyage of the Thetis and the Esperance will en rich our hydrographic collections with a great number of interesting observations, which will be published as soon as possible by the Board of Charts and Marine Plans. MM.deßougainville and Ducamper took onboard, at New Holland, for the Museum of Natural History, rare animals, several of which survived the fatigue of the long voyage from Port Jackson. Thus these two officers, . at; the same time that they fulfilled the principal object of their mission, in displaying the King's flag in seas where our merchants Wish to find markets, and in cherishing sentiments !of esteem and . friendship for France, neglected none of the opportunities which occurred to them for rendering important services to navigators who may hereafter follow them in the same sees, and for Contributing every thing in their power to the progress of natural science. In these different respects their voyage is highly interesting. LORENZ STARK. TRANSLATF.D FROM TDB GERMAN OF ENGEL. BY J. GANS. The literature of Germany has encountered a singular and most undeserved fate in England. German sentiment and German horrors hive been adopted us the characteris. ties of that Country's authors; but with no more justice than if the people of Germany should form their opinion of our writers, from translations of Mr. Dimond's or Mr. Dibdin's operas, and the edifying productions of the Minerva press. Among the books to which we should refer for the purpose of correcting this mistake, is the Lorenz :Stark, of Engel. Nothing can be more entirely German than it is, as well in style as in subject ; and nothing more directly opposed to the mysticism and craziness which F e commonly supposed to - belong to German literature. It is much more like our own Vicar of Wakefield, than any German work which has yet appeared in ,an English dress. It is called a Characteristic Picture of a German Family, and, recollecting that it represents habits which the lapse of half a century has put somewhat out of date, the pictUre will be found to be a very faithful one. Mr. Lawrence Stark is a merchant *of Hamburgh, who has reached an advanced age, with the reputation of being a little singular, but nevertheless, a very excellent man. He is rich in the produce of his own industry, but still lives with as much frugality as is consistent with comfort, and his place in society. He has some failings, but they are so mixed up with good qualities' that it would be im possible to separate them. • • This gentleman has two children, a son who has ar arrived at the age of 30, and a daughter who is married to a medical practitioner in the same city. Mr. Stark's son, who is an amiable man but in whom his father's singular temper has not inspired much confidence, is a source of regret to him. He is discontented at his remaining unmarried, and suspects that lie is cold-hearted and selfish,' two qualities which, notwithstanding the old gentleman's phlegm, he despises infinitely. A coolness isues between them, and at length reaches such a point, that the son, who is unable to bear his father's sarcasms any longer, resolves to quit Hamburgh and to establish a house at Bremen on his own account.; but this is rendered ex tremely difficult by the circumstance of his having formed an acquaintance with a widow lady in Hamburgh, to whom he ha* become insensibly attached. She was the wife .of a Mr. Lyk, a merchant, with whom the younger Stark had had a serious quarrel, and who bad dote him some injury in consequence. This preyed so heavily on Mr. Lyk's' conscience, that when he was on his death bed he requested Stark to visit and to forgive ,him which the latter did. unhesitatingly. The merchant died soon after, and he was soon found to have'left his family in dis tress, and his affairs very much embarrassed. Stark busied Inutaelf in !Kiting them to rights, and for many months, while his, father thought he was spending his 'evenings idly, they were occupied in assisting the widow to rectify, her late husband's perplexed accounts. The consequence was, that he fell in love with her, and it hap pened most unluckily, that at the moment he had resolved to leave. Ilamburgli, one of the, most troublesome of the widow's creditors became urgent for payment of his debt. The wife of the elder Stark, his daughter, who is his favourite, and her husband, try to reconcile the old gentle man and his son, but the obstinacy of both prevent the success of their attempt. The interviews of those per sons with the old man, the sagacity with which he , sees throu g h, and.defeats their plans, always in the most perfect goo d humour, bu LAS inflexible old l, as an oak, are described with admirable skill. Nothing can be more simple than the incidents ; but the natural manner in which they are related, and the dis criminating touc h es w i t h which th e aut W or marks his cha racters, are extreme l y well put in. A t l ength i t i s by ut mSteasris affairs,ki s t o ii f u d aug h ter th e thl e willow,mt a n ttaprp who s happily h i s i m persuaded bfo rrohgi,adv i ce by ab Lawrenceut in ihheze. scene in which Lawrence Stark, with the adroitness which • forms part of his eharacter, ascertains th e disinterested affection of his son for the widow, is managed with great skill, but at the same time with delightful 'simplicity.— After conversation which is introductory of the subject, Mr. Stark says to his son— " I see quite plainly the whole course of this love of yours. You have acted in regard to the widow with art uprightness and a generosity to which your heart hears testimony that they do you honour, the greatest honour. Thus her presence became natu rallyagreeable to you, for it reminded you of the noblest acts of yourlife : but as for genuine, sincere passion, a real and fer vent love, which will last till old age, and might fully indemnify You for every thing that you would be obliged to renounce or sacrifice fur her sake —no, my son ! I cannot possibly suppose this to be the case ; I cannot, I assure you." ", And why not, my good father? What should I he obliged to renounce for her sake ? What is to be sacrificed ? For my part I cannot imagine." " Is then wealth no consideration with you, which to many others might have brought you ? The widow has no fortune of her own." " Very true ; but—" " Out of the miserable wreck of her husband's property, her portion; acvording to our laws, will be the moiety only ; end what can that possibly be?" " Well, I will restrict myself, my dor, father; 1 will reduce the evpenees of the firm, as well as of my household, to the nar rowest compass possible. I will become economical and active the highest degree." a Very well ! But all this for whom ? This is a question you will ask some time or other, and which I must ask now. For a woman, who is no longer in the first bloom of. youth, and of whose beauty, after a few skort years, perluips scarcely a ves tige will remain." . " Is it then her beauty to which I look ? I call God to witness, that, in this regard I have never compared her with any other wo man ,breathing. What touched my heart, and made me hers for ever, were the virtues which she evinced in so many a shit and trying situation, and of which I have been for months the near and happy witness." The old gentleman walked once more up and down the room, and was silent. " She has children," resumed he, after a few moments' pause. " They increase my love for her. They are two angels." a Yes, but angels who have necessities. Suppose the little which will remain to them out of the property of their father, should through some cause or other be lost ; these children, who have called you fathers, will lay you under the obligation of pro viding for them as a father." " That I should certainly do, and with the greatest joy in the world." _ _ With joy ?--:But what you bestow upon them will be so much taken from your children. You will foolishly lavish upon stran gers that property which should benefit your own. How can you even conceive such an idea ? How can you cherish it even for a single instant ?" The son knew his father too well not to be extremely surprised at all this, and he said—" The sentiments which you are utter- ing, do not emanate from your own heart and soul, my father us, I am sure they do not."— " What do you mean ?" " Yes, you create another heart and soul for yourself ; a strange, narrow, and contracted heart, and which you would fain per suade sue was also my own. From this you draw the arguments by which you think to confound or convince me, I bee I have alto • gather forfeited your esteem, and lost it fur ever ! I must go hence my own way—and I will do so ! The only wish I have under heaven,"—and here he folded his hands together with great energy —" is, that you may live long, very long, and behold with your own eyes how much you mistook me, and how much you did me wrong !'--He turned away front his father I,owards the window, with a heart entirely distracted, and torn by the most acute and agonising feelings. A more unequivocal proof of his sincerity, and of the entire, change in his character, his father could not demand. After a profound and solemn silence, during which he left time for his son to recompose 'himself, he called him softly by his name, " Charles!" • Struck by the affecting expression, and the tremulous tone in which this was uttered, the sun felt, as it were, involuntarily int palled to turn round. And what were his kelings when he be held the good and venerable old man standing with his eyes Ailed with tears, and his pmertal arms widely opened to receive him. " Charles!" exclaimed the old matt ones more, why have you made yourself so lung a mystery to me ?"—And now the son, overpowered by his feelings, although he was still uncertain what he had to hope, rushed forward, grasped his father's band, and covered it with kisses. " Will you," said Mr. Stark, " will you, in this sacred hour, so memorable to both of us, swear to me, smear to me most so lemnnly, that you will never think otherwise, than you have de clared you do at this moment? that you will never not even in the inmost recesses of your heart, reproach, the good Lyk with her Want of fortune, or with her children? that you will estimate her love and her virtues above all fortune, and ever look upon her children as if they were your own ?" The son was not only touched, his inmost soul was shaken— " I will, I will !" said he in broken accents, and was unable to utter a single syllable more. " I accept this emotion of your heart in the plice of an oath." —And thus saying, the father threw his arms round his son', neck, drew him to his bosom, and covered his cheek with the pa ternal kisses of love and affection.

The translation has been very .satisfactorily performed. It is difficult in all cases to render the peculiarities of Ger man style, into English, without losing a large portion of identity, and as, in the_ instance before, us, a paraphrase would have conveyed scarcely any notion of the original, the translator , has been unable to avoid giving his version a.foreign air.

The Magistrate, however, pressed hint to come into the interior, and inquired whatbusinan procured them the honour of his attendance? Salaam Arias, . said Fitzsimons, placing the tips of his dex ter and sinister fingers on a very dirty forehead, and drawing them down gracefully towards the knees of a vary airy pair of in expressibles, in the true Persian style, be asked the Magistrate, "Did you see Mrs. Murphy, of Upper 'Church -street, or Haw kins, the watchinan, here lately?" The Magistrate declared that he was totally unacieusitite,d with Mrs. Murphy, of Upper Church-street, and requested this polite scarecrow to inform him what was his name, residence, and - oe cupation. Fitzsimons—My sponsorial and patronymic appellations are Michael Fitzsimons i I'm r doctor by profession, and I live in the bog of GarristoWn ; .1 wish your Worship's leg or arm was broke, and if I had you dawn in Garristown I'd soon do your job for you. Magistrate—And who is that ensiling lady who stands at your elbow? Fitzsimons—Oh formosa Paella, art thou there sweet Mrs. Ittrphy ? Stand up, tell the truth, and shame the devil. Mre. Murphy here adva►ued, and making s slight obeisance to the Magistrate, coloured up like a red cabbage, and declared that she merely came forward to rebut a charge against the watch man, who, like lieraelf,- bad been bred, bo►n, and reared in the fens of Garrietown. • Miiiistrate--Whoare those other persons that appear in the Office Six or seven persons here rose, and speaking together declared . . that they all lived in the bog of Garristown. Magistrate—Why Doctor, you have brought the whole pariah . . . of Ga - rristown to take the Office by bt01111: Fitzsimons—Cousidere duces, your Worship, if yott recol lect old Ovid, but we will proceed to the 47.1yintsv of .

Stand up, Mn.s M'Doanell, and'ailioik S - iflrdythiug thou haat decisre. • Mrs. M'Dounell, stout little punch ota wonsmo r with a very leaky eye, and a face that in point of hue appeared to have been recently besmeared with raspberry jam, advanced to the bar, and after some preliminary coughs declared that she had been sitting in Mrs. Murphy's house. with a male friend, when her delicacy was offended by the persecutionsuf a thoughtless youth, who appeared. to be smitten with he• charms, in consequence of which the male friend took up the cudgels in her defence, bat ,Wlll marvellously interrupted iu his performance of this laudable duty through the interference of Mrs. Murphy. Fitzsimons—OM you sycorat, the sphinx was a riddle com pared to you. Magistrate—lf you interrupt I'li be obliged to have you turned out. Fitzsimons—Aye, tarn him out, your Worship. Magistrate —I mean to hai , e you turned out. Fitzsimons--Turn out a Doctor. Oh, your 'Worship must be joking. Some respect must be paid to a deseendiult of Hippo crates. Mrs. M‘Donnell proceeded, and stated that whet licr friend was striving to fight with the Tenpin who had made the assault on her virtue, the ,watchman was called in, and she was very un cerenioniouidy bUndled into a closet, anti what made the matter still worse, the man was shut in along with her. Magistrate—And what brought you into a closet with a man? Mrs. M'Donnell—Oh, I'm a widow, your Worship. Magietrate-,That certainly alters the case; and pray, Mrs. Murphy, what induced you to take any part in this affair ? Mrs. Murphy (giving the table a thump sufficient to shiver the mast of a tishing,pmack,) I'd fight to the eyes when I saw them strike my man. Fitzsimons—Oh, rara avis, pattern of conjugal fidelity—give me your Inlaid, Mrs. Murphy. The Doctor pressed it to the left side of his ragged bodily en velope with the ardour of a Romeo. 'The Magistrate not tindiug anything in the matter that could be well comprehended, sod having not a shadow of charge to incul pate the watchman, declared that time , summons was of a very frivolous nature aital dismissed the parties, to the no small ecstasy of Dr. Fitzsimons, whoexclaimeti in all the ardour of his heart, " Bravely hast thou decided, must venerable Nestor, vale, vale, et longum vale, you are a splendid judge and a jolly gay fellow." The Doctor here cut a slight caper in the air to show how de lighted he was with the decision of the Magistrate, and departed with the watchman, as his convoy, Mrs. Murphy, of Upper Church-street, under his arm, anti the whole parish of Garristewn after his heels.—Dublin Evening Mail, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
